How to Host Handbook
Posted August 1, 2019
The How to Host Handbook is primarily for member institution representatives, administrators, faculty, and others at higher education institutions as they explore their interest in, plan for, and host SAR scholars and other intellectuals as visiting scholars on their campuses.
The handbook collects in one place the best practices of higher education institutions that have welcomed at-risk scholars as visitors since SAR’s founding in 2000. These practices are based on their experiences–both rewarding and challenging–as well as the perspective and experience of SAR staff. Sample invitation letters, press release templates, and other documents that hosting institutions have found helpful are featured in the handbook, as are additional resources for institutions.
